Operation Manual

13

7038

Safety

NEVER allow passengers to ride

on the forklift. DO NOT allow

riders on the frame or operator

cab. Allowing passengers to ride

could result in serious injury. The

forklift is designated for the safety of the operator only.

NEVER use crab or four wheel (4W) steering for

traveling at high speeds. Use only two wheel

(2W) steering for higher speed travel and slow

the forklift before turning. Rapid turning

while using crab or four wheel-steering can

cause tip over which could result in death or serious injury.

DO NOT travel with an elevated boom. Retract

the boom fully. Lower the boom as low

as practical for proper visibility. Maintain

enough ground clearance for conditions.

Traveling with an elevated boom can cause tip

over, which could result in death or serious injury.

Allow for adequate clearance between the

attachment and other objects when turning.

The attachment extends beyond the front of

the forklift. The operator must be aware of

the maximum sweep of any attachment be-

ing used to avoid hitting personnel and other objects in the

area and to prevent death, serious injury, or property dam-

age.

Warning

To prevent death, serious injury, or proper-

ty damage, make sure the forklift comes to a

complete stop before moving the travel select

lever. A sudden change in direction of travel,

while carrying a load, could reduce stability

and/or cause the load to shift or fall.

DO NOT shift through multiple gears with a

single turn of the gear select lever. Allow the

engine speed to slow down before shifting to

the next lower gear. Improper use of the gear

select lever could cause transmission damage

or forklift tip over/roll over and result in death or serious in-

jury.

Operate the forklift for maximum stability.

Unstable forklifts can tip over, resulting in

death, serious injury, or property damage.

Keep the forklift stable by following these and

other appropriate guidelines:

• Adjust speed for terrain and conditions.

• Avoid obstacles by driving around them rather than

over them, when possible.

• Start, stop, travel, steer, and brake smoothly.

• Load, unload, and turn the forklift on level ground,

when possible.

• Slow down for turns.

• Slow down for rough, slippery, or soft terrain.

• Use caution around steep slopes, creeks, gullies, ridges,

ditches, and ravines.

• Stay away from soft edges that could collapse under

the forklift.

Become completely familiar with the forklift

before operating on slopes. The forklift could

overturn due to sudden movement or while

operating on a slope resulting in death or

serious injury.

DO NOT raise the boom while

operating on a slope. Raising

the boom on a slope, even with-

out a load, will change the cen-

ter of gravity, could cause a tip

over, and result in death or serious injury.

• DO NOT turn on a steep slope.

• DO NOT drive the forklift across slopes.

• Always drive the forklift straight up and down a slope

(never drive diagonally up or down a slope).

• Drive the forklift forward up a slope (front of forklift fac-

ing uphill).

• Back the forklift down a slope when loaded (front of

forklift facing uphill).

Warning

Caution

Never attempt to create Diesel Exhaust Fluid by mixing agri-

cultural grade urea with water. Agricultural grade urea does

not met the specications required and thye aftertreatment

system may be damaged.

a complete stop. Align all four (4) tires “straight-ahead,” or

perpendicular to the axle, before changing steering mode.

Load Safety

Warning

Failure to follow proper safety procedures

when lifting, lowering, and traveling with a

load could result in death, serious injury, or

property damage.

DO NOT exceed forklift capacity of 70,000 pounds (31,751

Kilograms). The total rated capacity of the forks being used

must equal or exceed forklift capacity. Forks can bend or

break causing loss of load and possible death or serious in-

jury.

DO NOT exceed the manufacturer’s rated load

for any auxiliary attachment. Any attempt to

lift or carry loads in excess of the manufactur-

er’s rated load may cause forklift tip over, loss

of load, or structural damage which could re-

sult in death or serious injury.

weights and load centers.

• DO NOT exceed the manufacturer’s recommended load

capacity.

• DO NOT operate the forklift with an unsafe load

distribution.

• Adjust the load as necessary, especially for nonstan-

dard loads.

• Use caution when handling loose material that can fall

into the cab.

• Remove overhanging load materials, when possible,

and watch for sliding material.

• DO NOT reach a load over posts or other objects that

can enter the cab, if tipped.

• Avoid sudden stops, starts, or turns.

• Avoid carrying a swinging load from the boom lift

point. If necessary, secure the load by attaching it to

the forklift tie-downs and/or have another person as-

sist with safely steadying the load.

Attachments

Warning

Improper connection of an auxiliary attachment could re-

sult in death or serious injury. Attachments not locked into

place can become unstable and fall on the operator or other

personnel near the forklift.

• Make sure attachment locking devices are always in

place.

• Hydraulic attachments have a maximum hydraulic

pressure rating. The maximum pressure of each

auxiliary circuit can be set on the proportional valve

from 725 psi to the maximum system pressure of 4,200

psi (the factory setting is 2,500 psi). Exceeding the

pressure rating of the attachment by failing to adjust

the auxiliary pressure setting, or provide external

pressure control, could result in death or serious injury.

• Make sure all hydraulic connections are tight (if

equipped).

Shut Down Procedure

Warning

To prevent death or serious injury, follow these procedures

before leaving the forklift cab:

• Park forklift on a rm, level surface.

• Move travel select lever to NEUTRAL (N).

• Set parking brake to ON (engaged).

• Either lower forks and attachments to the ground, or

leave boom raised and retracted.

Always engage the parking

brake before leaving the fork-

lift. The forklift can roll if the

parking brake is not ON (en-

gaged), which could result in

death, serious injury, or property damage.

• Turn Ignition switch to the OFF position.

• Remove the key.

• Unbuckle the seat belt.

• Place “Do Not Operate” tags on the Starter switch and

steering wheel when maintenance or service is required.

• Block wheels when maintenance is required.

Forklift Maintenance

Warning

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper

maintenance to make sure the forklift continues to meet

manufacturer’s specications. Failure to properly maintain

the forklift can result in improper performance, which could

cause death, serious injury, or property damage.

Attach “Do Not Operate” tags to the Ignition

switch and steering wheel before beginning

any service or maintenance.

• “Do Not Operate” tags indicate the forklift should not be

operated until all service or maintenance is completed.

• Keep two (2) legible “Do Not Operate” tags with the

forklift at all times. “Do Not Operate” tags are provided

in this manual.

Safety

• DO NOT operate the forklift and attachments if they re-

quire repairs.

• Make sure basic maintenance is completed and service

problems are corrected.

• Death or serious injury can result from operating a fork-

lift before all repairs have been made and all proper

maintenance is completed.

Tires must have proper ballast. DO NOT re-

place foam-lled tires with pneumatic tires.

Use of pneumatic tires will severely aect

vehicle load capacity, which could result in

death, serious injury, or property damage.

Check hydraulic oil lines, tubes,

and hoses carefully. DO NOT

use your bare hand to check for

leaks. Always use a board or

cardboard when checking for a

hydraulic leak. Escaping hydraulic uid under pressure,

even a pinhole size leak, can penetrate body tissue, which

could cause death or serious injury. If hydraulic oil is inject-

ed into your skin, a doctor familiar with this type of injury

must treat it immediately.

Warning

Serious injury could result from

hydraulic oil pressure or hot

oil. DO NOT remove a hydrau-

lic tank ller cap unless it is cool

enough to touch with bare

hands. Remove the hydraulic tank ller cap slowly to relieve

pressure. Relieve all pressure in a hydraulic system before

any caps, lines, ttings, or related items are disconnected

or removed.

If the forklift is to be towed, make sure the

released brake(s) can be reapplied or the tow

vehicle has the braking capacity to stop the

forklift.

DO NOT use ether as a starting

aid. Ether is ammable and can

cause an explosion when start-

ing the engine, which could re-

sult in death or serious injury.

Follow the cold starting procedures and engine manufac-

turer’s specications for using a starting aid.

Lead-acid batteries produce ammable and potentially ex-

plosive gases. To avoid death or serious injury when check-

ing, testing, or charging batteries:

• DO NOT use smoking materials near batteries.

• Keep arcs, sparks, and open ames away from batteries.

• Provide ventilation for ammable vapors.

• Wear proper personal protective equipment, including

safety glasses.

Fluid in electric storage batteries contains sulfuric acid,

which is poisonous and could cause severe chemical burns.

Avoid all contact of uid with eyes, skin, or clothing. Use

protective gear when handling batteries. DO NOT tip a bat-

tery beyond a 45° angle in any direction.

If contact does occur, follow these First Aid suggestions:

• External contact - Flush with water.

• Eyes - Flush with water (including under the eyelids) for

at least 15 minutes and get medical attention immedi-

ately. Flushing must begin immediately to avoid per-

manent eye tissue damage.

• Internal contact - Drink large quantities of water or milk

to dilute stomach contents. Do not induce vomiting.

Get medical attention immediately.

IMPORTANT - In case of internal contact, DO NOT give uids

that induce vomiting.

Warning

Battery posts, terminals, and related accesso-

ries contain lead and lead compounds, chem-

icals known to the State of California to cause

cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive

harm. Wash hands after handling these items.

Warning

California Proposition 65

The parking brake can be manually released

to tow the forklift. In this condition, it is pos-

sible for the forklift to move suddenly when

the brakes are released, which could result in

death, serious injury, or property damage.

To prevent sudden movement of the forklift, place wheel

chocks in front of and behind wheels before the brakes are

released.

Safety

Warning

Wear eye protection when connecting jump

start cables. Improper jump start procedures

could cause the battery to explode, which

could result in death or serious injury.

• Never jump start a frozen battery, as it can explode. Let

the battery thaw out before charging.

• NEVER jump start the forklift when travel select lever is

in gear, which can cause the forklift to lurch forward or

backward, and could result in death, serious injury, or

property damage.

• To avoid injury or death when jump starting with an-

other forklift, make sure the two (2) forklifts are not

touching.

• DO NOT allow jump start cable ends to contact each

other.

• Connect charged battery positive (+) to stalled forklift

battery positive (+).

• Connect charged battery negative (–) to stalled fork-

lift ground. Make the connection to the stalled forklift

ground last.

• Connect jump start cable to stalled forklift ground a

safe distance from the battery to prevent sparks near

the battery.

• Jump start only with a power source with the same volt-

age as the stalled forklift.

• Turn o all lights and accessories on the stalled forklift

to prevent them from operating when the power source

is connected.

• Electrolyte contains acid and could cause serious per-

sonal injury if it contacts the skin or eyes.
